Back in August, we announced an exciting new challenge on DEV: the GitHub Actions Hackathon!
Participants were asked to create and document workflows that either leveraged existing GitHub Actions or made use of a new, custom action they built. These projects were filed under one of five categories: DIY Deployments, Maintainer Must-Haves, Phone-Friendly, Interesting IoT, or Wacky Wildcards.
You might have thought that the challenge here was in creating and leveraging actions, but the real challenge was for the judges. We were very impressed with the quality, creativity, and technicality of your projects, and selecting just a few Hackathon winners was extremely difficult!
After much deliberation between the DEV and GitHub teams, the final results are in!
Without further delay, let's meet our five grand prize winners and their awesome projects:
